*Community Based Trauma & Community Based Healing: Including a Perspective from Rwanda

*CEU Eligible Session

Systemic violence interacts at ecological levels to traumatize individuals, families, communities and societies. These systemic forces reinforce and exacerbate underlying conditions that contribute to trauma, often through stigmatization. The effects of trauma can thus last over generations, and contribute to long-lasting oppression. Interventions at only one level fail to address the entrenched nature of trauma. This presentation will explain how trauma intersects at multiple levels, using social and psychological theories. It will examine systemic trauma of state sponsored torture in particular. Also included in the presentation will be examination of community based healing strategies. There will be a review of strategies as well as in depth examination of a community based healing model used by the Torture Abolition and Survivor Support Coalition (TASSC). This organization promotes healing through involvement of survivors in decision making; peer support and peer healing groups; and advocacy efforts at individual and systemic levels.

Presented by: Dr. Nancy Bothne & Leonce Byimana

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT

Implicit Bias & Cultural Understanding

Implicit bias refers to a person’s unconscious understanding, beliefs, decisions, and actions that relate to their individual attitudes and stereotypes of the world. Implicit bias is a shared human phenomenon that is shaped by our environments over time and often influences how we relate to one another. This training will introduce the concept of implicit bias so that participants can understand their behavior on a deeper level and begin to identify how implicit bias shows up in their lives. Additionally, participants will learn to approach others from a place of cultural humility in an effort to minimize the impact of implicit bias and relate to others from a place of respect, compassion and kindness.

Presented by: Kristin Lancaster & Arin Donovan
